Using an extreme example I think they mean a striker shouldn’t be able to run straight to the opposition goal line when play starts and hang around there all match just waiting to pounce and/or disrupting the goal keeper. This is called goal-hanging and was very much a thing until the offside rule was brought in to stop it.

I doubt anyone would want to penalise displays of superior athleticism, that would be completely antithetical to sport in general.

Calling someone a fascist for that is obviously a bit OTT but you’ve ignored the “do weird shit” part of the response so it wasn’t literally what you said. Taking the full response into account you can easily interpret it as “I don’t bother with mental maths but use a calculator instead, anyone who isn’t like me is weird as shit”

That is a bit thought police-y

I use them as well, never had any issues.

They have a useful API I leverage to manage DNS entries with scripts and cron jobs which is probably fairly standard these days but seemed to be a little harder to find when I first moved to them.
